MGE Energy's nonregulated energy operations include ownership interests in the Elm Road Units, coal-fired generating facilities in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, and the West Campus Cogeneration Facility located on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. The company also maintains transmission investments through its ownership stake in American Transmission Company LLC, holding a 3.6 percent interest as of December 31, 2025, and a 4.4 percent interest in ATC Holdco LLC for out-of-state transmission development.
